Risk of Rain is an
action platformer
with
roguelike elements
. With
permanent death
as a primary feature, players will have to play their best to get as far as possible. Fight on a mysterious planet with
randomly spawning enemies and bosses
, either alone or with 3 friends in
online co-op
. With over
100 items
at your disposal, you will find the tools you need to find the teleporter back home. Discover a myriad of
randomly chosen stages
, from the desolate forest to the frozen tundra.
The three main goals for our game are simple:
1. Design a game that is randomly generated every play-through, to keep replayability high and fresh.
2. Time = difficulty. The higher the in-game time gets, the harder the difficulty gets. Keeping a sense of urgency keeps the game exciting!
3. Be enjoyable, regardless of whether you win or lose. No more fussing with complex and non-intuitive gameplay patterns. Players should not blame the game for their loss!
